Anyone seen this one yet? I came across it surfing trailers today.

In response to shiny, bigger, better American consumerism comes COLD SOULS, a surreal comedy in which souls can be extracted and traded as commodities.

It is treated as a comedy. Hmmm... From IMDB

Civilization and its discontents. Paul, an actor preparing for "Uncle Vanya" on Broadway, is mired in ennui. His agent tells him about an office where he can put his soul in storage. He does so then discovers that being soulless helps neither his acting nor his marriage; he returns to the office and rents, for two weeks, the soul of a Russian poet. His acting improves, but his wife finds him different, he sees bits of the borrowed soul's life, and he's now deep in sorrow. He wants his own soul back, but there are complications: it's in St. Petersburg. With the help of Nina, a Russian who transports souls to the U.S., he determines to get it back. Who has he become?

A company which, for a fee, will remove your soul? I guess this would come in handy in politics or a corporate culture. They would have a rough go of it in Israel, eh? A quote from the company rep:

"Believe me, when you get rid of the soul, everything makes so much more sense."
 
The man also says everything becomes more meaningful and purposeful. Ha. I'm watching this right now. I'll get back to you later. It's already making me sick, though - the way the guy persuades him to give up his soul.

However, so far it's looking like his life is not better for it. We'll see.

It's what we say when we are always wrong, not wanting to suffer! take off my soul! (emotions 3D) to suffer no more. But when the persona remove the soul, he feels empty and worse. Can see a perspective about to the physical desire, and that the souls of the customers were taken to a black market and used by others of greater power. Possessing the gift of the soul, the gift that had that person. (profession's important)

It is interesting to analyze with respect to the true 3D. If the body has no soul, simply is an organic body, a program.
 
I forgot, how to extract the soul? is to remove the pineal gland. When remove the soul to customers, his soul take the form of a peanut or prune.

Our pineal gland is blocked. Strange no? These films today ... daaaf.
 
I watched this movie a few months back and quite enjoyed it. I think the message overall is a good one - that although having a soul is painful at times, we can't take it for granted by callously discarding it. There's also the subtext of the folly of trying to become something you're not. Certainly a dark comedy, but a good one, I thought.

The problem is not the soul, is the belief of the mind over the emotions and desires to possess. (sue happiness through good deeds and hard work)."Who am I?" It is true that it hurts. But "Forced to choose" No time to think, simply to survive. It is the soul, is the system?.

No consciousness, only logic (Because "consciousness" in 3D depicts a man perfectly moral). A logic that absorbs what is supposedly good for us. But we do agree, we chose it and then run away when we do not get what we demanded. The frustrating thing is, it's me or a program? know that nothing is what it is, but since the objectivity is fascinating.

The sell his soul and then realized that the soul is the most cherished in their life.

We are born to be something we are not. The Man is the best artificial intelligence.
